ANOTOMY AND
PHYSIOLOGY OF
REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
• The female reproductive system is design to carry out several
functions.
• 4 is the normal pH of the vagina.
• 40 weeks is the normal gestation period.
• 400 oocytes released between menarche and menopause.
• 400,000 oocytes present at puberty.
• 28 days in a normal menstrual cycle.
• 280 days (from last normal menstrual period) in a normal gestation
period.
Terminology
• OOGENESIS - The development of egg ovum in the ovary.
• OOGONIA – During fetal growth the oogonia (2n) divide to
form primary oocytes (2n) ,at puberty these will form
secondary oocytes (n) each month.
• GRANULOSA CELLS – nourish the developing egg cells.
• DIPLOID (n) – human cell contains 46 chromosomes and is
called diploid (2n).
• HAPLOID (n) –sex cells called gametes,contain only 23
chromosomes, hploid (n).
 CONT……..
• VAGINA – Canal that connects the uterus to the environment.
• CERVIX – muscular ring of tissue at mouth of uterus separating rating
it from the vagina ,holds the fetus in place.
 FUNCTIONS OF FEMALE
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
• Formation of ova.
• Reception of spermatozoa
• Provision of suitable environment for fertilization and fetal
development
• Perturition
• Lactation,the production of breast milk,which provides complete
nourishment for the baby in its early life.
DIVISIONS

• INTERNAL GENITALIA
• ACCESSORY REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS
